It is expected that there will © he the Christmas vacation, the balance be- ing allowed furlough. Today a 'meeting of church indica-Suhgiates from all denominations--will be to consider plans for the entertainment of those remaining here. The form it will take is not yet decided, though it may be evening functions, with refreshments, in various churches. The Masonic brethren in 'the 2st battalion, hd battery, Canadian Engineers and of the staff. were en- tertained in the eam Hall on Thursday evening by the members of Anion ht. John's lodge No, 3, 4 PB, « e prinei guest of the evening was EW. Bro. W. N. Ponton, of Belleville, who gave an address. on the subject "Masonry and the War." Rev, W.'F. FitzGer- ald and Dr. A. W. Richardson, as wéll as a number of the officers pre- sent, also gave short pases, af- ter which refreshments were served. Queen's officers training corps plans to devote Tuesday evenings to eom- pany drill, Thursday evenings to bat- talion drill, and Saturday afternoons to manoeuvres. It is to be hoped that a sufficient number more will turn out to run the total up to two hundred and. thirty-six, thereby enabling the formation of four full companies. There were 166 at the first drill this week. The veterans held their weekly dril- ling and shooting in the armowies on Thursday evening. The shooting is getting very good, some high scores being made. As usual, there were four squads -- drilling, shooting, Stontehir henrig, afd signalling. Orders have been received to recruit the Army Service Corps up to full strength of a hundred men. It ig ox- pected that orders to reeruit more men from Toronto and Montreal corps will be received at once The Signalling +Corps oi the 2]st battalion go to Barriefield almost daily ior signalling practice. The men are becoming very expert in the ceiving and transmitting of messages undér Lieut. A. Stroud The officers taking the R.S.A. in- struction at Tete de Pont barracks have been taking their examinations all this week. On Friday morning the examination was in "gun-laying." Ow- ing to the examination not being fin- ished in time the trip to Barriefield for the 'digging in" of the guns had to be postponed. The weather was ideal, but the time could not be spared. On Friday morning the O. C. of the division received orders that the 21st battalion would immediately be established under the gystem, succeeding the eight com- pany establishment now being used. This system is in use by the Russi- an, British, German, French and Austrian armies. There are four companies of double the old strength, or 215 men in each com- pany. Each of the four companies is under four csubalterns, usually :Heutenants, a captain and an officer in charge, either a senior captain or a major. This makes four maj- ors or sendor captains to the battali- on under «the command of a lieu- tenant-colonel. It was generally thought by mili- tia men that the old drill order would be kept on as the larger com- panies are rather difficult to handle. The battalion has been to date drill- ing under the old system and this has no doubt been of advantage as the men have. been given more de- tail instruction by the officers No orders have yet been received to commence the recruiting for the third contingent of the Canadian expeditionary force. The place where it will be mobilized in the di- vision has not yet been stated. The minister of militia is in the mari- time provinces on an inspection trip and it is not likely that orders will be issued until he retusns. It is unlikely thai the 22nd over- seas battery will leave the city for the front before March at least, is the opinion among officers here. The order 6 leave will, of course, come only. a very short time before, but for several reasons this order is not expected until the last of February or the first of March. The men are being drilled steadily and are in fine condition. A Whig representative was, on Fri- day, given an opportunity of looking at the new field telephones that will be used by the overseas troops to communicate with 'each other. The visual signalling is more or less lim- ited to conditions; the field tele. phones are used at times when the other is not possible. A "ground- from this a wire is connected to the instrument. A horse and rider then take a coil of small wire and lays the wire along the ground to the other instrument. The telephone is ; very compact, being carried over the shoulder with no greater difficulty than a camera. Each telephone is in a leather case with the receiver and transmitter separate. A buzzer is also in the case and this is used to call the other party. If for any rea- son the telephone does not work clear enough, the buzzer is used as a télegraph Instrument, and the Morse code used to send the mes- sages. ; . A very peculiar trouble was dis- covered in Petawawa by a local of- ficer in using the telephones. Twenty yards awdy was a wire connecting a similar set of instruments with the brigade headquarters. It was found that when the bugzier on the other line was used, the noise could be clearly heard through the receivers of the first set. hé only connee- tion between was the ground, [the wires id not run parallel any great distance, and the cause of platoon. spike" is driven into the ground and |. what is technically knowh as "cross-' jal was the subjeet of much specu- on. A second soldier of the 21st bat jtalion entered the ranks of the bene- dicts on Wednesday. Lance-Corporai G. Rose, of the transport section, who comes originally from Norwich, England, was married by Rev. W. F, FitzGerald in St. Paul's church, to, Miss May Wilson, King street. Pte. 8. Robbins, also of the transport sec- tion, acted as groomsman, Miss Jarrett acted as bridesmaid. The soldiers in the section presented a beautiful gold watch as a token of the high esteem in which the groom is held. After the ceremony the members in the section escorted the happy married couple home of the bride's parents where a posed of seventeen pieces, from Ottawa on, Friday the 21st battalion.
